Come to the beautiful Southern Oregon Coast and stay in sunny Gold Beach. Located in Oregon's Banana Belt, this remote little sea town features both ocean and river fun and has more sun hours than any other town on the Oregon or Washington coasts.

You will find things are very different here. Uncrowded beaches, quiet roads, pristine wide-open spaces, incredible hiking trails, vast forests and rugged mountains all invite you to relax and explore.

From May through October, jet boats offer excursions up into the "Wild and Scenic" sections of the Rogue giving passengers a close up view of wildlife and river life. The Salmon and steelhead fishing in the area are second to none, and an excellent group of licensed guides are available. Ocean charters for fishing and sightseeing are ready for your call.

Gold Beach offers one of the best selections of motels with oceanfront or river views. A variety of restaurants with local dishes to please every appetite are also located in town.

During the winter months, it may be a little wet in Oregon, but it's a whole lot sunnier in the Southern part of the state. And, the Southern Oregon Coast is often referred to as the "Banana Belt." But, even if you do visit in the winter, you'll love the drama of the winter storms. And besides, that 70 or so annual inches of rain are very much the reason for why you'll love our forests, rivers and streams.
